It’s important to note that the award didn’t come from the Yankees in response to Sanchez. It’s voted by MLBPA alumni.

Still, that timing was crazy given what had just unfolded.

Sanchez’s rough night started when he took his time retrieving a passed ball, which allowed Jake Bauers to score from second.

Then, Sanchez jogged out of the box in the ninth to allow the Rays to get two tries at a game-ending force out that otherwise should have resulted in New York tying the game.

After the game, Sanchez apologized for his effort and didn’t want to make excuses.

Via interpreter, Gary Sanchez felt right groin "grab'' during 1st inn. passed ball play last nite, but left ballpark not thinking he'd be DL candidate. MRI this a.m. showed same strain, though he feels it's less tight than previous injury. Repeated it was no excuse for non-hustle
